La Janine Garrett

She walks the streets from dust till dawn
Singing that song
One eye forever glazing to the darken sky
The other upon the things to come
...

the things i have done hunt me still
these dreams are that of another
there nightmares sink throw thick walls
walls that i have shield my very own blood
...

I know nothing of that Light for I
Have seen nothing of her beauty
As time goes, this I know
That as these youthful eyes
...

I have known rivers
Ancient, dusty rivers
To a night without stars
From the tears of the moon
...

These things say she
Who holds the gift of life
Who walks along a hard road
As time hold no means for at dusk
...

A faceless man is what greets me
A blind eye, outward turn to the blazing sky
Lost seeds, that had taken a long joinery
Riding the western winds
...

As I step to the side
Those divine tears greet me
As I stand to speck
That pulsing, demanding need
...

Do you know what the worst about,
having your insides turn inside out
Or maybe it’s the best, I just guess
it depends on how your willing to
...

I am who I am
I am what I am
I speck of a nomad
I seek that of above breath
...

“As I lay down to sleep
I ask the lord for my soul to keep…”
I had once said these words
These very words
...

My poor hands
Long rouged and wide
My poor hands
Hard worked these hands be
...

Be that as it may
I am this person
Medium height
Vertically challenge if you ask
...

Come see, the old man leap
Do you see
Do you see, how his bod shakes
Come see the old man leap
...

Common things
Things that of another
Simple things
A single light
...

Dear paper friend
How was your day
No wind has come
n’ blown you away
...

O how I long for a simple day
To walk throw a door
Lay my tired body upon the bed
To wake with life
...

We say no
Never again
Yet like addicts…
Our voices hold no strength
...

Can any one see the darkness
Surrounding Me
Nights getting colder
Days getting longer
...

I know your love
Yet I do not

I see your eyes
...

A woman of time
A woman of strength
Have no fear for as those of above watch
In name of that of our mother
...
